Apologies if this was posted, frequent reader, infrequent poster, didn't see anything like this and was bored, so here goes.
I did some scenarios to see what we would need to have happen to win the division, with 0, 1, 2, 3 wins.
Dallas
Record: 8-5
Division: 3-2
Conference: 6-3
Games: @wash, @car, rams
Skins
Record: 7-6
Division: 2-1
Conference: 7-2
Games: Dall, Gints, @philly
Gints
Record: 9-4
Division: 4-1
Conference: 8-3
Games: kc, @wash, @oak
0 wins:
We cannot win the division with 0 wins (obviously).
1 win:
If we only beat either the rams or carolina, we would lose out because of head to head with either the skins or the gints. If we only beat wash, even if the Gints lose out they would own the Head to head against us (we would have the same record of 9-7).
2 wins:
If our 2 wins came against wash and carolina, even if the skins won their other two, we would win out based on record (we would be 10-6). The gint would therefore be allowed only one win and that win cannot be against the skins (it would put there divisional better than ours). We would win that based on common games I believe.
If our 2 wins came against wash and the rams, the same scenario as above would apply.
If the 2 wins came against carolina and the rams, that would say that the skins beat us. Based on that, the skins would have to lose to philly because they would need to beat the gints (see next). The gints would HAVE to lose out based on a better divisional record with one win.
3 wins:
If we win out, the skins can win all three, it doesn't matter based on record. The gints would only be allowed to win 2, and it cannot come against the skins based on divisional record.
So let me know what you guys think, did I miss something, am I off? I haven't done this in a while, so I may be a bit off. I based this on the nfl.com procedures:
1. head to head
2. best divisional record
3. common games
4. best conference record
